Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Looks more like something found in the kitchen of a high-end restaurant than an amplifier.
I realise they're probably seen as iconic, but I think the entire Macintosh range just looks really kitsch and dated.

Toshiba toploading CD player from the late 80s.
It was only ten inches wide and very cheap.
I know it's ugly though because I looked at one of them every day for a year or two when I was a poor student ...

Actually I'm quite proud to be the owner of one of the items on here. Just a pity it's not the Dan D'Agostino one.

That was the first CD player I had, I quite liked it. Worked perfectly for years then I passed it on to a mate.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Years ago I started a thread here called 'Eye-Fi'. It was a catalogue of audio items which I thought looked good/elegant regardless of sound quality.
Perhaps I should resurrect the thread so new Members can contribute.
